Business Outlook
Pros
A strong name and company with a toe in every aspect of the industry. Has some extremely strong groups in every part of the business (storied M&A group, powerful commodities trading, strong prime brokerage). Proud culture.
Cons
Group-specific culture, "360 degree" feedback system doesn't work as it should, and not enough communication from higher-ups. Culture and helpfulness of others is somewhat forced upon individuals by the firm. Culture is strong, but its strength is dwarfed by companies like Lehman.
